Dubai is inadvertently known for luxury; magnificent skyscrapers, golden beaches with yacht outings, customised everything and super elite restaurants. Here are some things you could indulge in.
Gliding over the desert in the early hours of the morning, soaking in the golden rays of the Middle Eastern Sun, is most definitely a memory that will forever be etched in your mind.
There are private helicopter tours that take you to heights for you to witness the spectacular aerial view of the city and the Arabian Sea. Along the coastline of the city, you are bound to see the Palm Jumeirah; a man-made island that takes up the shape of a Palm tree. This island is home to many luxury homes and resorts like the Anantara the Palm Dubai Resort. There are 2 more such islands coming up, but as of now, Palm Jumeirah is the first. Thus, being able to see this stunning view from a helicopter would be something you can only experience in Dubai and hence, cannot be missed!
Cruises that take you on a serene journey, away from the city but not too far so as to see the city lights against the dark night skies; a view that certainly makes you wonder if the stars have fallen to the ground. How about a glass of wine and feasting on great cuisine while bobbing away on the Arabian Sea, overlooking the pinpoint lights from the city and its skyscrapers sound? It certainly makes the idea of a candle-lit dinner far too simplistic.
Ever had a dream of owning a Ferrari? At least for one day? Well, in Dubai you can exactly do that! Rent one and take it for a spin all by yourself on the roads of Dubai and feel like a millionaire!
You most certainly cannot afford to miss this while you are in Dubai. Explore the desert and the view of the sand dunes in a luxury vehicle either during sunrise or sunset for the best experience. It is not often you get to see the sun setting in a desert. There are campfires and activities to do in the desert like camel riding, smoking shisha and dance with live performers.
There are many luxury resorts in Dubai that serve delicious food that is customised and made according to the wishes of the customer. All of these restaurants are well decorated providing the ultimate luxury ambience; the experience here is a feast for the buds and the eyes!
For a personalised tour around the city coast, rent a luxury yacht and cruise the Gulf. Perfect for the weekend for you and your family and friends to do nothing but be on a yacht, treating yourself to the customised itineraries from the crew. Unlike soaking the sun with the view of the sea from land, you can get your tan while on the beach and looking at the shoreline.
